Be it known that I, Earn. ERESE, of the, city and county of San Francisco, State of Galifornia,have invented an Improved Gather-tic Tea; and I do hereby declare that the ingredients in making said tea, and the process of mixing or compounding them to make it, are described in the following specifications.

It is intended that each package of my cathartic tea shall weigh two ounces, which is composed of the following ingredients-to wit:

Alexandria senna, which should be free from stems, and cut fine,,eight (8) drachms.

Manna, also cut fine, three (3) drachms.

Coriander-seed, which'should be, split in two, two (2) drachms.

Lavender-flowers, two (2) drachms.

-Tartaric acid, powdered, one (1) drachm. v v

The whole is to be well incorporated, and may be put into packages, as above.

This medicine is recommended as a most certain, efiicacious remedy for such diseases as severe colds, coughs, fever and ague, asthma, phthisis, headache, bowel, kidney, and liver complaints, piles, congestion, 860., caused by an impure state or superfluity of blood. Its use removes scrofula, cutaneous eruptions, pimples on the face, blotches, boils,-rheumaticpains, and pains in the bowels and joints. It is a preventive against contagion, and destroys inhaled miusmatic and contagious vapors. .It purifies the blood, cleanses the stomach and bowels, and gives to the entire system a healthy, easy tone. It opens the bowels in a very mild and certain way. It works on the system generally, causing little or no discomfort. It will prevent almost any disease, if used at least once a month, and is a certain restorative for lost appetite.

The following-directions should be observed for it's use: Take one table-spoonful of tea, pour on two or three cupfuls of boiling water, cover the vessel, and putit in a warm place to draw, for about two or three hours, then pour it through a si eve'or piece of linen, and give to a full-grown. person a cupful, each in the morning and evening; children less inproporti'on. Should thisdose'not prove suflicient to produce an opening of the bowels two or more times, augment the dose according to circumstances, and repeat every twohours,

until it has the desired efl'ect. I

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The above-described composition'for cathartic tea, made of the ingredients enumerated, mixed and compounded in about the proportions specified.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal. i
